Portraits of my garden Birds (2)

If you happen to be in Hong Kong, one bird you are most likely to see is the Red-whiskered Bulbul. The size of Red-whiskered Bulbul is similar to the Chinese Bulbul, but its calls are much more musical and pleasant. Very often they can be seen standing on the top of small trees singing happily, it is a joy to watch.

Unlike the Chinese Bulbuls, the Red-whiskered Bulbuls are generally shy. However, because of the food shortage in the winter, they can not afford to refuse my offer. My feeding station provides me the opportunity to get close and personal with these interesting looking birds.
